Hi guys !

I'm doing my AS-Level this year, Edexcel board. I wanted to know how many subjects are required to take for AS-Levels. Will it be alright if i take 3 subjects for AS-levels?

For most things 3 should be fine :smile:

3 is fine. I've heard that people have gotten into Cambridge with 3.

Some universities like LSE require 4 though. Try to do 4 if you can to keep your options open.

Would do 4 just for the extra points that will help you gain entry onto your chosen course :smile:

It goes without saying that you should try to have two 'facilitating' subjects, regardless of whether you're doing 3 or 4.

Everyone takes 4 normally so it doesn't really matter if they're hard or not. You might be at a disadvantage if you are planning on applying to top universities.
